BARNSTABLE — A Forestdale man was indicted in Barnstable Superior Court last week on heroin trafficking charges. Daryl Fennell, 26, was charged with trafficking more than 200 grams of heroin and possession of ammunition without a firearms identification card.

Fennell was arrested earlier this year after the Cape Cod Drug Task Force, which includes Drug Enforcement Administration agents, investigators from Massachusetts State Police and local police, searched his mother's home in Cotuit, Cape and Islands First Assistant District Attorney Michael Trudeau said. Investigators found several small plastic bags containing a powder later determined to be heroin along with an orange prescription pill bottle filled with an unidentified white powder, according to court records.

Fennell pleaded not guilty to similar charges in Barnstable District Court earlier this year and was released on his own recognizance. His mother, Georgina Fennell, also faces charges in district court.
